Several reasons, here are some:1). I ~*LOVE*~ Interactive Bellydance! But many bellydancers have never done it, & though many have seen it in performance... they often don't know it's done as a social activity too: At weddings, parties, nightclubs, & sometimes restaurants, in the communities from many of the countries where bellydance originates.
Sometimes westerners are less comfortable being simultaneously physically active, interactive, & artistically expressive...especially on zoom or audio. Many are not accustomed to the deep eye-gazing so valued & common in most countries belldance originates from: ~*SO:*~
--before I host the monthly mixer, I'm hosting all sorts of pre-gatherings, w/simultaneously physically active, interactive & sometimes artistically expressive --activities: In topics people love, are more familiar w/& comfortable with: So people can explore the fun of interactivity, & be more comfortable w/interacting while being physically active ( like we do in social dancing) in the lovely intimate space created when you meet peers who not only love bellydance, but enthusiastically share your other interests as well!
Another reason posted in comments below, (as I've run out of space)
✨💫🕌🥀 🥀🕌💫✨
So much look forward to meeting new friends, making new memories w/old ones, & sharing this all together!
